Its so fitting that Light & Darkness both have their positive and negative qualities that only balance each other out when the fragile equilibrium is maintained. Light represents hope and purity, but too much Light is blinding and destructive. Darkness represents passion and strength, but too much Darkness is cruel and misguided. Both can and WILL eat you alive if you don't balance them out like Jaiden/Judai does throughout the show. Its a simple theme in retrospect, but they really go HAM with the existential dread.
This reversal of the light and dark tropes is what made GX one of my favorites. The writer, Yoshida, loved to take Christian mythology and examine it under a different lens.
The light can guide you in the deepest darkness, but the darkness can shield you from the brightest lights. It's important to maintain balance on the road to dawn.
The fact Kingdom Hearts fits the theme of GX says alot which is why I wish Sora has his own Supreme King like arc moving forward in the series due to how similar he and Jaden/Judai are as characters
I like how GX uses the fact that the universe is mostly made of *DARK* matter and one of the most destructive forces in the universe is the *blinding* supernova.
wow... that is what i was thinking when i created my chaos summon chant "The Light blinds your mind, The Darkness drowns your soul. Between the Evil of two, the your body swings in the Pendulum of Chaos." and when i go more positive, i go more kinder aspects of them "The Light bathes your body, The darkness calms your mind. Between the opposites, Your soul rests in Pendulum of Chaos"
Another anime that changes morality on light and dark is Fairy Tail. We see many villains using star magic and white magic that are the most terrifying characters. Making people experience euphoria until their brains melt, or completely earasing a persons entire personality. These examples really go to show that each concept are not good or evil, but rather, the person using them are brought into question.
This whole Video had me thinking about Sachmet, a Lionheaded Goddess from Egypt. She was an aspect of Ra, representing his Wrath and the Desertcreating and merciless Heat of the Midday Sun
Wish someone covered this long ago but my god am I happy it was covered now. I mean it's similar to other stuff, even real world where Justice can be used for good but also for evil too. It depends on the view point of the one who uses that concept... much like Light and Dark. Too much Light corrupts it to become evil and too much Dark wants to swallow everything into it. Balance is necessary to achieve the future. It's why I didn't mind Darkness showing up because even back then, he was always there luring even when the Light of Destruction was active. They're just two entities to the extreme of each other and yet desire similar goals. Fantastic video!
This is one of, if not my favorite videos I've watched! I think your breakdown on the different extremes of both light and darkness and how they affect people is thoughtful and interesting. I honestly don't think i could have put it anymore intelligently. Oh and can I just say I love how calming your voice is? I think how down to earth and mellow you sound helped make the video so enjoyable in my opinion 😉 😊
To me there’s no right or wrong when it comes to the forces of Light and Darkness both of these powerful forces help balance the universe it really depends on how you use these forces Light and Darkness have been balanced since the beginning of universe this eternal oscillation will always remain balanced Darkness isn’t a bad thing unless you choose to make it that way Light and Darkness are two sides of the same coin. Some people think Darkness is evil but Light is a positive force but in reality Light and Darkness can be used for good and evil Darkness is not some thing to be feared we all have Light and Darkness within us and up to us to keep them balanced within ourselves.
Amazing job. light of destruction sound like law route from smt series. nightshroud from s4 sound like persona series final boss. Yubel character sound similar to satan from devil man. Yubel turn into Jaden supreme king. Is like Ryo aka satan turn Akira into devil man. The way supreme king take over Jaden mind is very similar to Amon take over akira mind
Honestly this themes keeps going on until Vrains, Lightning realized he wasn't perfect and tried to blind everyone with deceits to hide his own imperfection
Honestly, I still prefer the dub storyline for multiple reasons. A factor relevant to the video being: The characters in Season 1 were led astray and then subsumed by darkness, the characters in Season 2 were blinded and then subsumed by light and the characters in season 3 were led to ruin and tragedy on equal share by light and darkness. The series ends by destroying or containing the malicious forces of both sides and combining both elements into something greater, something that can truly change the world for the better. The whole picture is drawn already, Season 4 is redundant and breaks the balance.

I feel like I don’t like it because of Season 3 of GX
Mythology? Jesus was a real person, a literal historical figure
@@Elkanimates Jesus is not the only thing in the Bible, you know.

Is there anyone that uses white or star magic for good? You need there to be examples on both sides for "this can be good or evil" to work.

The gentle darkness
S1 Judai being a character that embodies everything we love is a statment that exists😂
This is the idea of shadow work and Carl Jung. You need to be a little dark to progress in the world.

Same ideology as now in the society.
Amazing job.
light of destruction sound like law route from smt series.
nightshroud from s4 sound like persona series final boss.
Yubel character sound similar to satan from devil man. Yubel turn into Jaden supreme king. Is like Ryo aka satan turn Akira into devil man.
The way supreme king take over Jaden mind is very similar to Amon take over akira mind
It’s kind of funny and ironic, considering that Neos is a Light Monster. Yubel is a Dark Monster.

great analysis
Hope you'll have a good day
I'm curious on what you will do for Darkness's deck
What about Pyramid of Light?
What if Téa participated in Duelist Kingdom and Battle City
If we're being honest, she's not gonna last long against champions, semi finalists, professional duelists and Marik
Berserk reference
😱
